Trek T1
Good day all!
Does anyone have a Trek T1 (early model: Red) anymore? I ride a T1 and have a question about the outer down tube portion almost near the crankset area. I am not too sure if this is a dent or if it is the design of the frame, but it's killing me to find out asap. If anyone has a T1 frame (early model: Red) and can check their outer down tube portion and see if it is actually the design of the frame, or if i have a dent.
Thank you!

Looks to me like the down tube was "ovalized" to allow for a full weld bead attaching it to the bottom bracket shell.

Your cog is slipping.
Wait...is that the early model: Red frame?
Anyway, it's a dent. Ride your bike, you won't die.

thats why I'm looking for someone with the same frame, because it looks like a dent, but at the same time it looks like it's the design of the frame 🤔 I just want to know and it's bothering me that I don't. Haha

Especially after crashing
OR cracking by too much torque tightening carbon pieces . . . (this one super suck)I don't want to feel "unsafe" all the time, I want "confident" feeling
